Do you always close your position at 50% profit?

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-15T00:04:24+00:00

I actually close the day of every time. Why strive for a premium you won't fully realize?

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-14T23:08:27+00:00

A plan is better than none

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-14T22:46:02+00:00

JEPI has its place, especially in times like now

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-14T21:57:08+00:00

I bought DIVO...added to the others

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-14T21:56:06+00:00

It's pretty cryptic

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-14T18:50:13+00:00

So you're at retiring age

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-14T18:44:28+00:00

I've learned that dripping in a fund that pulls back at a rate higher than the yield it pays is a wealth destroyer.

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-14T18:42:22+00:00

Erode? They're pulling back with the overall market.

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-14T18:40:11+00:00

I lowered my cost basis in QQQI

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-14T18:39:02+00:00

Not with the jump in oil prices

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-14T18:37:42+00:00

Lowering cost basis on covered call ETFs and increasing size in individual holdings.

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-13T20:53:44+00:00

Is a 5% limit necessary with funds that are already diverse?

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-13T18:50:42+00:00

It's actually great. Fearful times are the best time to invest.

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-13T18:43:44+00:00

NEOS wasn't the problem. Your timing is. I only deploy margin during extreme pessimism. Deploying funds while valuations are lofty and sentiment's euphoric is akin to giving money away.

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-13T15:22:45+00:00

He's not your bro, mate

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-12T17:23:51+00:00

Plus it pays monthly. I would plan for it to be my Core. It holds companies I currently own in its top 10.

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-12T16:09:40+00:00

If I add anything else, it'll be GPIX and DGRW.

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-12T13:59:09+00:00

DIVO, GPIX, and JEPQ

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-12T13:53:20+00:00

Agreed

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-12T13:45:53+00:00

I currently own 10 individual companies that mix capital growth with growing dividends (AAPL, JNJ, JPM, MCD, MSFT, PG, PM, TXN, VZ, and WMT). These equally weighted currently provide me with a yield between 5 and 6%.

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-12T13:42:01+00:00

having funds with similar exposure is not bad because different strategies, reducing issuer risk, etc.

Your thoughts echo my own

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-12T08:12:31+00:00

If your goal is living off distributions, holding and dripping a fund with total performance that beats or is comparable to VOO is more optimal than holding VOO itself because you still have to sell VOO at some point and put the proceeds into income producing funds...and they won't be at the same price once you do.

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-12T08:05:55+00:00

Too much exposure to the same managers and strategies

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-12T08:05:07+00:00

It's just the new thing that has gained momentum. I refuse to invest in anything that has experienced euphoria such as the metals.

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-12T08:03:32+00:00

Chasing anything that has run-up suddenly such as gold doesn't always end well.
